Dillard University Quality Enhancement Plan 2015-2020
The 2019 Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) for Dillard University aims to enhance student learning outcomes and overall institutional quality by focusing on improving students' oral communication skills. The plan addresses the need for students to be effective and competitive oral communicators in a diverse, global, and technologically advanced society. Key components of the plan include integrating oral communication skill development into coursework, co-curricular activities, and faculty/staff professional development. The QEP seeks to foster an institutional environment that supports students in articulating their academic goals, engaging in discipline-specific communication, and delivering well-organized speeches appropriate to various settings and audiences.
